X-MEN '97 Interview: LENORE ZANN talks about Rogue's Journey and her Powerful Comeback!

Actor, Politician, Singer and the voice behind everyone's favorite X-Men powerhouse, LENORE ZANN, sits down for an interview to discuss the success of the first season of X-Men '97, her return to the character after almost three decades, and her powerhouse of a performance in this season.

#xmen97 continues the story of X-Men: The Animated Series (1992–1997). In both series, mutants are people born with superhuman abilities that generally manifest during puberty. The X-Men are a team of mutant superheroes founded by Professor Charles Xavier to protect mutants and humans alike. At the end of The Animated Series, Xavier nearly dies in an assassination attempt and is taken to space to be healed by the alien Shi'ar Empire. X-Men '97 begins a year later and sees the X-Men facing new challenges without Xavier, under the leadership of their former adversary Magneto.

The show stars Ray Chase, Jennifer Hale, Alison Sealy-Smith, Cal Dodd, J. P. Karliak, Lenore Zann, George Buza, A. J. LoCascio, Holly Chou, Isaac Robinson-Smith, Matthew Waterson, Ross Marquand, and Adrian Hough as members of the X-Men. Sealy-Smith, Dodd, Zann, Buza, and Hough reprised their roles from the original series, as did Christopher Britton. Original series stars Catherine Disher, Chris Potter, Alyson Court, Lawrence Bayne, and Ron Rubin also returned to voice new characters.

Zann has one of the most eclectic stories to tell when it comes to her acting career, and the near three decade break she's had when playing the Souther Belle, Rogue. Zann was a politician, a singer, a writer, and has moved all across the world, including living in a variety of beautiful locations across Canada. Zann represented the people of Nova Scotia for a decade from 2009-2019 until getting a strange email about returning to the iconic X-Woman.

All episodes of X-Men 97 are now streaming on Disney+
